Uses different material

« Caddis worms » have soft skins, and each makes a long cylindrical silken bag, open at both ends, as a case for it when floating about on the surface of the pond, or when crawling over the mud at the bottom. Each species makes a different sort of house and uses different material, tiny stones, bits of stick or leaf, or little shells. These material are fastened together with a silky webbing from the body.
